Series: Amadeus
Publisher: Amadeus Press

The second title in the Amadeus Press Parallel Lives series, this volume examines the lives and work of two giants of 20th century music. Both composers influenced countless others, and their works are performed often in today's concert and opera houses.

In clear, concise language he examines their major works, helping us to understand their genius and power, which is illustrated by the accompanying audio available online.

Both wrote primarily – and most successfully – for the voice, but neither became ghettoized as a strictly vocal composer, and both were possessed of a flawless compositional technique, with a fluency that bordered on wizardry. Finally, both were prolific, involved musical presences on the world stage
